Part 58-- Scoop of Life-- French Fries

Part 58
Scoop of Life
McDonald's
Lajpat Nagar.
He lets her pay for the food.... she asks for change he opens his wallet only to find Rs.500 bills. "Tum ITNA saara paisa lekar ghoomte ho?" shocked...
He is amused...
"Ma goes through my purse and takes away money periodically, I am dangerous when left alone with money, like kids with knives..." giggles
"Ek baar I took all my Ma and Papa's money and went out shopping, with their knowledge ofcourse" laughs unmindful the lascivious clerk is listening with amusement , hands her her ticket coyly.
Raghav snaps it from the guy's hand and hands it to her, steers her towards a window seat.... as she TALKS....

Radz: Were you stuck near the Moolchand flyover? It was bad! ughhh
Raghav drinking in her appearance, she is quite unaware of the effect she has on men he thinks "I came via Pragati Maidan"
They are seated by the window....
She checks her ticket frequently "I am so hungry! I should have brought lunch, Gopi had made karhi, my favorite and there was left over aloo methi from last nite. I am such a fool" graons
"You skipped lunch?" he asked casually...

Suddenly selfconcsious "Ermm... mera matlab, I have to watch what I eat!" blushes as she jokes and winks........ giggles to kill that effect some....

She finds him watching her wordlessly.....
The feeling doesnt evaporate soon, they both end up looking at each other.
The number changes on the display, its her turn.... "Mera khaana!" she yells looking away
Shakes her head vehemently as she walks up to pick it up....
"What a dork!" she curses herself...

He has followed her, fills up the soda glasses....
As it fills, eats her French Fries....

He just seems happy to be with her, he is his usual self, quiet, not chatty but amused and interested when ever she spoke.
"Tum aaj office gaye the?"
They walk towards their table.... he holds the tray, she walks with the sodas....
He nods smiling...
"Aajkal roz office jaate ho? Is it your app writing place or your Dad's"
"Both he says grinning...
"You have to dress formally? First IT job I am hearing about actually" surveys his bold blue stripe cotton shirt and navy trousers admiringly.... one sleeve is neatly folded the other bunched up some where near his elbow.
"He is as careless as I am about appearance" she concludes
He tears open the ketchup and mustard as she chows down... almost a burger and a half to his amusement.... divides the French Fries, "Yeh tumhaara yeh mera she says... finds his pile to be bigger... takes some out and adds to her own pile AS SHE EATS FROM HERS.....rambles and redraws French Fry property lines....
"I have given you all the long and crunchy ones" she says
Takes a few more, until he holds her wrist as he chews.... "Arey I gave you the big ones"
"You are a cheat Radhika!" he says, his first sentence in 5 or so minutes.
She tries to free her wrist.... its not easy.... some thing about the grip triggers a thought in her mind about how strong he must be physically.... despite appearing lanky and tall....
"Mera haath!"
His eyes point towards the French Fries.........
She laughs but doesnt make a fair trade....
He makes a big pile and brings it all towards himself  like he was saying......."What ever you have is all mine" as she watches carefully, color crawling up her face....
He just eats with his left hand..... loosens his grip enough..... she doesnt free her hand!!!
"I am going to UP next week" her voice is trembling and soft suddenly....
"Do you want to?" he asks directly, gripping her wrist involuntarily, looking directky AT her.
"No"her eyes respond..
